Commit and PR counts are one-year public contribution totals from the official GitHub GraphQL API. When a contributor has an isolated per-user burst that exceeds their adaptive baseline cap, the table ranks on the adjusted commit signal while showing the raw total for audit. Repo and follower counts come from public GitHub profile metadata. Country matching uses free-text GitHub profile location and is not verified geography.
